Privacy Policy
Date Adopted / Modified : June 19, 2026
Animerra, Inc. (“Animerra”,” “we,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you when you visit our website. This Privacy Policy also describes how we use the information, if any, that we collect, with whom we share it, and the choices we offer you regarding our collection and use of such information.
- Information We Collect
We may collect personal information about you, meaning information that can uniquely identify you, from various sources, such as:
- Directly from you when you access certain features or content on our website, such as providing information on our “contacts” page.
- Social networks through which you may interact with us, such as X (formerly known as Twitter) and Facebook.
- Our affiliates, service providers, business partners, and other third parties that may host certain of our webpages.
The personal information we collect about you may include, without limitation:
- Contact information, such as name, postal address, email address, and phone number.
When you use the website, we may also collect certain information by automated means, such as cookies and web beacons. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag, or clear GIF, is used to transmit information about actions of the user opening the page or email containing the beacon back to a web server. Certain features of the website may use local shared objects (or Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and how you interact with the website. We may also use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) that collect information about use of the website and user traffic. The information we may collect by automated means may include, without limitation:
- Information about the devices you use to access the website (such as the IP address and the type of the device, operating system, and web browser).
- Dates, times, and duration of use of the website (including whether you are a repeat or first time visitor).
- Information on actions taken when using the website (such as page views and website navigation patterns).
This information helps us to improve and personalize our website. To the extent any of these automated technologies are considered a personal information sale, targeted advertising, or profiling under applicable laws, you may opt out by contacting us at [email protected].
- How We Use the Information We Collect
We may use information we obtain about you to:
- Respond to inquiries made by you through the website.
- Send you information or materials you request.
- Operate, evaluate, and improve our website design and interactive experience.
- Analyze and enhance our marketing communications and strategies.
- Analyze trends and statistics regarding use of the website.
- Protect against and prevent fraud, unauthorized transactions, claims, and other liabilities, and manage risk exposure, including by identifying potential hackers and other unauthorized users.
- Enforce any agreements with you.
- Comply with applicable legal requirements and industry standards.
We also may use the information we obtain about you in other ways for which we provide specific notice at the time of collection or as otherwise permitted or required by law.
- Disclosure of Information
We do not sell your personal information to third parties for commercial purposes. However, we may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any individual user, without restriction. We may disclose personal information about you:
- To third parties we use to support our operations and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
- To comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request.
- To enforce agreements with you.
- If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Animerra, users of the website, or others.
- With your consent, to certain third party partners whose products or services may be of interest to you.
- To our subsidiaries and affiliates.
- Otherwise with your consent.
We also reserve the right to transfer your personal information to a buyer or other transferee in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, sale, or other transfer of some or all our assets. Should such a sale, merger, or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use your personal information in a manner that is consistent with our Privacy Policy.
The categories of personal information we may disclose include:
- Contact information (such as name, postal address, email address, and phone number).
- Device information (such as IP address, device type, operating system, and web browser).
- Information about your use of the website (such as page views, navigation patterns, and duration of visits).
- Data Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information, that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
While we have implemented measures intended to protect your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure, please note that the electronic transmission of information is not completely secure and we cannot guarantee that the security measures we have in place to safeguard personal information will never be defeated or fail, or that such measures will always be sufficient or effective. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.
- How We Retain Your Personal Information
We keep the categories of personal information described in this policy for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described or for as otherwise legally permitted or required, such as maintaining the website, operating our organization, complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and for safety, security, and fraud prevention. This means that we consider our legal and business obligations, potential risks of harm, and nature of the information when deciding how long to retain personal information. At the end of the retention period, personal information will be deleted, destroyed, or deidentified.
- Your Choices
We offer you the following choices about the information we collect from you and how we communicate with you:
Cookies
Most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable existing cookies. You can find out more about this by visiting www.aboutcookies.org. Flash cookies operate differently than browser cookies and cookie management tools available in a web browser may not remove Flash cookies. To learn how you can manage your Flash cookie settings, visit http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html.
Please note, however, that without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of all the features of the website.
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that can send a signal to the online services you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, our website may not respond to all browser DNT signals. Instead, you can use the range of other tools to control data collection and use, including the cookie controls described in this policy.
If you do not want us to use your email address/contact information for promotional purposes, you can opt out at any time by sending us an email stating your request to [email protected]. If you have received a promotional email from us, you can also opt out of receiving future promotional emails from us by following the unsubscribe instructions contained in such email.
- Accessing and Changing Your Information
You can review and change the personal information associated with any account you may establish by logging into your account and visiting your account profile page. However, we currently do not permit the creation of accounts through our website as we currently do not offer products and services through our website.
Where we process your data on the basis that you have consented to such processing, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by emailing us at [email protected]. We may not accommodate a request to change or delete information if we believe the change or deletion would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
- Your State Privacy Rights
Depending on your state of residency, you may have certain rights related to your personal information, including:
- Access and Data Portability. You may confirm whether we process your personal information and access a copy of the personal information we process. To the extent feasible and required by state law, data will be provided in a portable format.
- Correction. You may request that we correct inaccuracies in your personal information that we maintain, taking into account the information’s nature and processing purpose.
- Deletion. You may request that we delete personal information about you that we maintain, subject to certain exceptions under applicable law.
- Opt Out of Using Personal Data for Targeted Advertising, Profiling, and Sales. You may request that we do not use your personal information for these purposes.
- The exact scope of these rights varies by state. There are also several exceptions where we may not have an obligation to fulfill your request. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected].
Some browsers and browser extensions support the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) that can send a signal to process your request to opt out from certain types of data processing, including data “sales” as defined under certain laws. When we detect such a signal, we will make reasonable efforts to respect your choices indicated by a GPC setting as required by applicable law.
- California Privacy Rights
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits users of our website who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to [email protected] or write us at the address indicated below.
- Children’s and Minors’ Data
Our website is not intended for, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from, children under the age of 18. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 18 years old without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under the age of 18, please contact us at [email protected].
- Changes to Our Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update or change this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make a material change to our Privacy Policy, we will provide notice by posting on our website that our privacy practices have changed and will provide a link to the new policy. In the event we make a material change to how we use your personal information, we will provide you with an opportunity to opt out of such new or different use. The date this Privacy Policy was last revised is at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to check for any updates or changes.
- Data Transfers
Animerra is based in the state of Massachusetts in the United States. If you live outside of the United States, it will be necessary for us to transfer, process, and store such information outside of the country in which you reside, including in the United States. By using the website, you consent to the transfer to and processing and storage of your information in countries outside of your country of residence, which may have different data protection laws than those in the country where you reside.
- Additional Information for Individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA) and UK
If you are in the EEA or UK, you have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR. These rights include the right to:
- Request access to a copy of the personal information we hold about you;
- Request that we update, correct, or supplement your personal information;
- Request that we erase your personal information from our systems;
- Request restriction of processing of your personal information;
- Request data portability, where applicable; and
- Object to processing of your personal information.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below. In some circumstances, we may not be able to fully comply with your request (if this is the case, we will explain why), or we may ask you to provide us with additional information, for example if we need to verify your identity.
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your personal information or any privacy request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the EEA member state or UK where you reside or work, or where the alleged infringement took place.
